Nice protective style for hot summer days. Braid it, and forget it. (Sort of)
Trying this style ASAP.

I need to learn how to braid or have someone braid for me.

This was an epic fail for me.

DC overnight with shaemoisutre Raw Shea deep treatment masque
Rinsed out detangled, my hair was very soft like butta, the comb glided through
Leave in CRN aloe butter gel
Sealer homemade whipped butter mix and grape seed oil then Eco styler for edges
tried to French braid, ended up just doing 8 braids all around let air dry
I guess I'll have to keep practicing those row braids.

Those twists tho .

Love this girl's hair, but I'm so confused as to how she retains all her thickness and length with frequent relaxers (every 4-6 weeks)

 

[GabbyABaby]

Has anyone ever used these infrared light things?

Has anyone ever used these infrared light things?

I don't think I would use those lamps on a regular basis like weekly for DC or something. I know they use lamps sometimes for highlights but that's every couple months. I'd be worrying about the radiation levels from very frequent use JMO.

That's exactly what I was wondering, I'm going to do some more research on this.

I'm DYING at your siggy picture

Post any warnings you find. I doubt it's really dangerous but you never know they let that formaldehyde into the states and Europe before really checking it out and hairdressers we're getting sick some died I think. I'm going to stick to steamers and heat caps just in case.
There's no amount of hair worth me frying my brain with radiation.

This one Right I had the coffee joke before

Well I went to my stylist for a trim, and came out with a 2-4 inch cut and shape. I SPECIFICALLY told her MULTIPLE times NOT to even up or shape my hair. Just lightly trim it and she cut off this year's progress! I was 1" away from the top of bsl, to collar bone length. I am so upset. I know it's only hair and it will grow back, but I am so upset about this! Never again, I will NOT go back to her.
